Transmission Jerky At Cold Start?
Has anyone else experienced this observation.
The transmissions tends to be clunky/jerky ONLY FOR THE FIRST SHIFT when the engine is cold and has been parked over night.
It feels like someone popping the clutch in a manual transmission. I cannot stress it only happens ONCE during the first shirt of a cold engine
Comments are appreciated

Absolutely normal and reported by many other CLA owners. You might also hear a similar 'clunk' noise when the car downshifts as you come to a stop every so often.

Tranny is jerky at cold starts!
That's just the beginning. Next expect jerkiness in Eco mode at take off than finally while daily driving until it ultimately fails. Mark my words from the owner of the first turbo failure which initiated the campaign
